I'm trying to determine what the best way to produce a 960 volt, 1MHz sine wave would be. The wave needs to be balanced so it's 480 v above ground and 480 v below ground. The current requirements are minimal/negligible. I just need the voltage. So far I've tried winding a transformer (wound 1:40) with a split primary, where I've put 24 volts in. The transistors on each primary are being triggered by a crystal driving a 4017, so the transistors are firing on 0 and 2 respectively, on the 4017's sequence. I've been having problems with inductance losses in my transformer at this frequency.
My question is whether there's another way to produce this that's more efficient? I was thinking perhaps two inductors, one firing positive and the other negative, but I can't find any literature about how to make the spark from an inductor that precise. Any help is appreciated!
